Marque' Coffee Table, Contemporary Inlaid Metal Coffee Table

About

The use of inlaid metal is a homage to Paris of the 1920s and to Art Deco design of Emile Ruhlmann and Jean Dunand, who were main advocated of this style; essential forms - minimal and yet so refined, a timeless elegance – a clear reference to the elitarian craftsmanship which gave form to such excellence.
In Marque’, material and forms become essence of memories, referring to traditional techniques: different stiles mix together with the search for new languages that can be achieved within the realm of excellence and craftsmanship only found in Italy.
The Art Deco design now reborn in a contemporary key and makes its way in the Third Millennium.
The collection by Alessandro Zambelli for Matter of Stuff Designer Residency comprises a series of storage furniture that include a small cabinet, a dry bar, a console and a coffee table, where the material used – metal – is read in ebanistic terms through the use of inlays as new element of character and prestige.
The linear essentiality of the forms, which is reflected in each element of the collection, is enriched by the presence of precious superficial decors that are juxtaposed through inlays: small metal oxidized plates animate the surface of each storage element with their refined alternation of delicated geometrical motifs.
The oxidation process brings a unique mutation of the surface itself, enriched by a whole variety of shades and gradation.
